<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Man is the Cruelest Animal </em>features four main themes and essays on the human-animal link: <em>History, Cruelty, Activism</em> and <em>Perspectives</em>. Each theme is comprised of four peer-reviewed essays. In <em>History, </em> the centuries-old animal protection societies that preceded the modern animal rights movement of the 1970s are described. <em>Cruelty</em> highlights what drives animal activist campaigns, especially practices involving the (ab)use of animals in food production, research, entertainment and hunting. <em>Activism</em> analyses the strategies-persuasion, protest, non-cooperation and interference-and the associated tactics of animal activists in the USA, the UK and Australia. <em>Perspectives</em> identifies some of the conflicts involving counter movements against<em> </em>the theory and practice of animal rights and the prospect of achieving common cause in resolving the worst features of human-animal interactions. The concluding section of the book is in two parts: Part 1 focuses on <em>Pandemics and Life Chances</em>, a topic that is of obvious relevance in the current era, while Part 2 features an annotated guide to recommended reading on the four main themes covered in the book.</p><p><br>
